Aeolus Robotics: This robot will bring you beer

Flying cars are not here yet, but a robot that brings you beers might be.

IT KNOWS when you are sleeping, it knows when you’re awake and it knows when it’s beer o’clock for goodness sake!

The newest artificial intelligence out of San Francisco-based tech firm Aeolus Robotics is a revolutionary robot that can pretty much second guess your family’s movements, their identity, and even perform household duties from moping the floor to getting drinks out of the fridge.

While the flying cars that were promised to us in The Jetsons are lamentably still on the drawing board, a digital domestic goddess by the likes of Rosie The Robot has actually arrived.

The mechanical mate, which is expected to be available by the end of the year, will reportedly cost as much as a car at around $US20,000 ($25,000) and is described by Aeolus as being the height and weight of a 12 year old — however undoubtedly more house-trained.

Just like a creepy scene out of (insert favourite Sci Fi film here) this amazing android can distinguish between family members’ faces, recognise where household items are supposed to go (then put them back in place) and can keep a sly eye open for emergencies like a fire or notice a change in posture and possibly prevent a fall.

The yet to be officially named “Aeolus Robot” can also move furniture, find lost items and even learn the household schedule via an information sharing network.

Remember Rose?

Amazon and Google users can also connect the futuristic cyborg to their virtual “personal assistants” Alexa or Google Home then monitor the madness from wherever they are in the world via an app.

When Aeolus unveiled the quirky domestic staffer last month at the annual consumer electronics expo in Las Vegas, a spokesperson commented that it “can recognise and adapt to changing environments and independently learn, navigate and complete tasks, fundamentally changing the way housework is done”.

“It’s our mission to bring together the latest in robotics, AI and machine learning, in an affordable in-home robot,” said Alexander Huang, global CEO of Aeolus Robotics.

“Costing less than a family vacation overseas, the Aeolus Robot makes the dream of having a home robot a reality and frees up valuable time for you to do things you want to do,” he said.
